## Technical details

A missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) exists in the GamiPress plugin for WordPress through version 7.6.3. The flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to bypass intended access control security levels due to insufficient validation of user permissions within the plugin's logic. By exploiting this, an attacker can potentially access or manipulate features that should be restricted to higher-privileged users. The issue is resolved in version 7.6.4.
